Total Annihilation

Cavedog | GT Interactive |

Long ago, the galaxy had known peace. Paradise was ruled with the hand of science, and the hand was that of the galactic governing body known as the Core. Ironically, it was the Core's ultimate victory, the victory over death itself, that brought about the downfall of its paradise and started the war that would decimate a million worlds. The immortality process, known as "patterning," involved the electronic duplication of brain matrices, allowing the transfer of consciousness into durable machines. Effectively it meant immortality, and the Core decreed the process mandatory for all citizens in order to ensure their safety. However, there were many citizens unwilling to toss aside their bodies so casually, many indeed who regarded patterning as an atrocity. They fled to the outer edges of the galaxy, forming a resistance movement that became known as the Arm. War began, though it was never officially declared by either side.

Description

The map offers a rough and canyon-gouged terrain in the north end, all of the canyons either opening or terminating at the river or the flat area directly south of the rough northern end. The middle of the map offers a water-locked piece of land to the left and the actual Wetumpka Impact crater structure to the left. The crater itself is horseshoe shaped and open at the bottom left. The walls use the stacked crater tiles to try and recreate the actual "lay-of-the-land". South of the crater is a desert area which is created using either dunes or desert-archipelago transistion tiles. The very southern left corner has more rough terrain. Along the way, various mesas and desert plateaus are used to try and roughly follow the geography of the original satellite picture
